Re: [DSI Synths] Re: Pot upgrade for PEK!!!!!!!!

Mine seem fine. I seen a few times they skip but overall, they work well.

Sealed pots like in MOTM ... now that I might be interested in...
Dust out there in my area, a killer.

  The encoders on the PEK are crap. They skip all over the place when you turn them; sometimes they change values after a barely noticeable nudge; and quite frankly, endless rotaries are bothersome, especially when the encoder skips over values while you are turning and turning and turning and turning and turning and turning....

  However, have to agree with Bob in that if the encoders were better quality and programmed differently, I wouldn't mind keeping them over pursuing the pot conversion....
